In this episode of The Autoimmune Reset, VJ explores the fascinating connection between blood pressure and autoimmune disease, focusing on how both high and low blood pressure can be influenced by chronic inflammation and immune dysfunction. We discuss key markers like hs-CRP, lipoprotein(a), and small dense LDL, which offer valuable insights into cardiovascular health in autoimmune conditions.

You’ll also learn how autoimmune diseases can disrupt adrenal function, particularly the production of aldosterone, a hormone critical for regulating blood pressure and electrolyte balance. VJ dives into how low aldosterone levels can lead to symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, and salt cravings, shedding light on why low blood pressure is often overlooked but equally significant.

Finally, we share practical recommendations to support healthy blood pressure, including:

•Anti-inflammatory dietary strategies,

•Vasodilation techniques like boosting nitric oxide production,

•Adrenal-supportive practices to promote balanced aldosterone levels.

Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how blood pressure ties into autoimmune health and actionable steps to support your cardiovascular system naturally.
